In-pad settings allow you to customize your coding experience by applying common IDE functionality to the interview pad. These settings are global and affect all your pads.
Click the Settings button in the lower-right corner of the pad to see the options.
Editor settings
Editor settings allow interviewers and candidates to adjust code input and visual settings.
✅ The Editor Settings will only affect your particular view of the pad. They will not affect how others in the pad will see it. For example a candidate can change their font size to 16px, but that won’t change the font size for the interviewer.
